Thanks. I thought they might have been linked, but I wasn’t sure.

How did you go about protecting your ‘members only’ section of your site? You’ll want to apply that same logic to feeds as well. If there is a core bbPress bug causing this, please open a trac ticket to discuss.

Rename your template-twocolumn.php to ‘bbpress.php’ and you’re all set.

I have another account linked to my most-used current e-mail, but I can’t log into it. The password was possibly random, but I either lost it or just can’t remember it. I can’t reset my password via e-mail because when I get a Password Reset e-mail, the link in the e-mail takes me to a page where it says “I am not allowed to change my password”. I definitely still use the e-mail associated with that bbPress Support Forums account. At the least, I we could delete the old account and change the e-mail of this account that I’m using to post this to the e-mail from the old account. It’s basically just an @ymail to @gmail change anyway. Please help, and thanks.

I need help performing a basic function. I have a WordPress blog with bbPress installed as a plugin. I would like all of my forums pages (ever) to show up on a custom two-column WordPress page template that I made (template-twocolumn.php) rather than the default three-column template for my site’s theme. I can put a forums shortcode on a WordPress page with a custom template, but the forums will still really just be using the three-column template, and it will show when I click any links to a new forums page. Can someone please help me make it so that the entirety of bbPress uses one particular non-default template page style?

I have WordPress 3.2.1 and bbPress 2.0. My website is at http://www.vgreboot.com/ . Thanks.

Thank you. I really appreciate you guys being on top of this! Please keep me updated on any fixes.

I have solved the problem. Not exactly sure how I did it. I installed a new database a few different times, but I was still getting the same errors.

Then I installed a new database, activated my bbPress plugin first, and everything worked fine. Then I installed BuddyPress after that. Another thing that I did was to NOT activate the “Discussion Forums” on BuddyPress in the settings page. I had a problem with that before and saw a thread that recommended that as solution.

In any case, things seem to be working for now.

I also sent them a contact form requesting access in order to help and troubleshoot.

I have an issue that seems to be with the theme I am using. When I install bbPress, it doesn’t register a title when I look at my view source code. I also get an “Error 404” message in the breadcrumbs of my site’s theme (NOT in the bbPress breadcrumbs).

I don’t get this when I switch to a default WP theme, so it seems related to my theme (WPzoom’s Manifesto).

I have run a buddypress update plugin thinking this might help, but it doesn’t. I also get this message with BuddyPress compatibility: “Your active theme does not include bbPress template files. Your forums are using the default styling included with bbPress.” (I’m fine with the bbPress default styling, by the way. Just wondering if the first part of that message might relate to my problem in any way.)

Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

Despite the inflammatory remarks from their team in the topic you linked me to, I tweeted the Pagelines guys about getting access to their forums or getting things figured out together.

Considering you are paying them for support, I think the ball is in their court. If there’s a problem with their theme and bbPress they need to put a guy on it and send me a theme to test, similar to how StudioPress and Genesis handled it for the 2.0 release.

If bbPress is doing something that’s causing headaches, I’m happy to fix it – the difference being that bbPress’s code is immediately accessible to them, and their themes are not to me.

I said I never saw a mass action in Standalone bbPress for posts. That was your answer but I asked did you use Akismet too or nope? The Akismet didn’t care of spammers?

[Keith Kelly]

It seems that the bbPress 2.0 plugin is using my blog posts setup for forum topics and forums list. This is an issue to me because I do not want to have post author information or the comments section to display in the forum topics.

Here is an example: http://www.fanoop.com/forums/topic/one-more-test/

I am using Pagelines Platform Pro theme. I have also posted this topic on their forums (http://www.pagelines.com/forum/discussion/14742/bbpress-2.0), but it seems that it is an issue between the plugin and WordPress…

Is there a way to separate the forums from the blog post style? I obviously don’t want to turn off commenting site wide, but this is an issue.

[John James Jacoby]

Not currently possible, and not planned.

[Anointed]

Short answer, no.

The new bbPress plugin uses custom post-types ‘topics/replies’ so technically topics and replies are already posts.

It’s easiest to think of forum topics as simply WordPress posts that are simply styled as forum topics by using special templates.

Of course anything is possible to build.

Are there any plugins available for bbPress/WP post synchronisation? By this, i mean that any new posts created in WP are automatically created in the bbPress forums.

I know there are plugins available for older stand-alone version of bbPress which won’t work. Basically what i’m trying to achieve is, when a new post is posted in the category “reviews”, it appears in the forum “reviews” and so forth.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks.

Had the ram allocation bumped to 128 by the host… all plugins disabled, still cannot activate bbpress. I had mentioned that in the above posts. I also tried reinstalling the whole thing fresh to no avail. There is clearly another issue at hand.

[David]

Thanks for the heads up, @anointed.

I’m running bbPress 2.0 with WordPress 3.2.1.

[Anointed]

the error is basically saying that your website does not have enough ram allocated to it in order to run anything else.

You can either deactivate other plugins on your site and then try to activate bbp or you can call your webhost and ask them to allocate more memory. (probably have to pay more for more ram)

This really has nothing to do with bbpress, but more a general error that shows up when system resources run out.

[djlynchpin]

Reinstalled everything, back to where I can activate bbpress, and still get memory error.

[djlynchpin]

I tried to install from plugin in wp admin and got api error. So i dwnlded full version and ftp’d it to my server. Then when I try to activate it I get the following error: Plugin could not be activated because it triggered a fatal error.

Fatal error: Out of memory (allocated 26214400) (tried to allocate 291800 bytes) in /home/lynchpin/public_html/wp-content/plugins/bbpress/bbpress.php on line 449

I upped my php.ini to 64m , tried adding code to wp-config and htaccess. Nothing has worked. Any suggestions? I’d even be willing to let someone log into it and take a look. Help Please!

[Anointed]

There is a trac ticket already submitted with this problem.

What vs. of WordPress are you using?

https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/1640

[David]

The Topic Tag Archive page (in the browser at /forums/topic-tag/[topic-name] ) is displaying all the topics in my forum rather than just the topics that are associated with the selected topic tag. It *does* list the tag correctly at the top of the page so I know that’s getting through.

The associated template part is taxonomy-topic-tag.php which calls bbpress/loop-topics.php but I’m not seeing an issue in either file (although with my limited PHP knowledge I’m not sure that I would recognize an issue anyway).

Is anyone else having trouble with this? I’ve checked it on two installations and am experiencing the same issue.

Also, when is taxonomy-topic-tag.php called vs page-topic-tags.php?

bbPress 2.0 uses the same WordPress theme your site uses. You cannot separate them on a single site, but could get creative with a multisite installation.
